    There was a great channell that uploaded hours and hours lf recovered advertisements and it was really cool. I hate ads but a lot of the companies were dead so it was more nostalgic and interesting than anything.

    There was also a dude who took all te youtube videos that were auto uploaded from te first iphone under the same generic name and created a random clipshow.

      I’m not 100% sold on running actual ads although, if I recreated Nickelodeon, it might be fun to throw in commercials for stuff like Gak or the old Stick Stickley bits (provided I could find those). Maybe roll my own Snick and Nick-at-Nite blocks. For the latter it’d be neat to have some more period-correct stuff - even if it’s just Fred Flintstone hocking cigarettes or whatever.

      I’d probably need to significantly expand my storage and media collection to make more than a couple channels doable. Definitely a bunch of bumps, “coming up next,” etc if I want to keep a strict 15/30/60 type schedule. And a 24/7 weather channel with the old WeatherStar 4000 style.

      If you find the channel, let us know. I’d probably be keen to pull at least a handful of old adverts for padding.
